Armani-clad killer David Norris living a life of luxury and making mockery of prison system

The cost of living crisis has forced many of us to change our spending habits, with people understandably cutting back on non-essential purchases. David Norris, 46, posted an extraordinary picture of himself wearing Top Gun-style Aviator sunglasses with his TV and Xbox games console in the background in his cell at Dartmoor Prison in Devon Norris is one of two men convicted of 18-year-old Stephen’s murder at a bus stop in Eltham, south-east London, in April 1993 But a whistle-blower, who spoke on condition of anonymity as part of a major Daily Mail investigation into the Norris ‘selfie scandal’ and his alleged ‘luxury’ life behind bars, said it all comes down to his ‘status’. In a foul-mouthed rant on messaging service WhatsApp, the unrepentant murderer – nicknamed ‘Nozza’ by fellow inmates - launched a vile attack on former justice secretary Dominic Raab, who blocked his bid to move to an open prison earlier this year In an update to his WhatsApp ‘status’, Norris, who can apply for parole in 2024 or 2025, bragged to friends: ‘I’m coming home in 2 to liven you all up.’ It is one of the best paid and cushiest jobs in the prison – second only to being a gymnasium orderly, which pays about £20 a week - but still a paltry sum when you consider the amount his newly purchased Emporio Armani clothes and accessories cost. It is one of the best paid and cushiest jobs in the prison – second only to being a gymnasium orderly, which pays about £20 a week They are not comments which suggest serial thug Norris, whose racist language and hatred of black people was caught on a police surveillance video after Stephen’s murder and appalled his trial in 2011-2012, is a reformed character. Gary Dobson, now 47, was also jailed for life in 2012 for Stephen's murder Norris’s shocking disregard for prison rules – before obtaining a smartphone he is said to have had an easy-to-conceal Xanco miniature phone - is a clear vindication of Mr Raab’s decision in the spring to deny his request to move to an open prison amid fears he still poses a risk to the public.
